By the editors · 2 min readLabdanum and benzoin create an immediate balsamic-amber accord that feels warm and resinous. Vanilla sweetens the opening while iris introduces a powdery texture that contrasts the resinous base. Sandalwood adds a creamy woody foundation that supports the vanilla-iris combination throughout the wear. Patchouli provides an earthy counterpoint that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. Musk and rose contribute subtle floral-musky undertones in the far dry-down. The scent evolves from balsamic warmth to a powdery-woody finish over several hours. Projection remains moderate with good longevity, making it suitable for fall or winter evenings.
